Sunday mornings
9:30am from the Club House
When a big race is not on, Sundays are for those long, slow training runs. We run out from the clubhouse into the surrounding countryside, making as much use as possible of the wide variety of terrain on the commons of Frensham, Tilford, Hankley or Crooksbury (amongst others).
Tuesday evenings - "Improve your speed" - winter sessions
6:30pm from Weybourne
Meet at 80, Copse Avenue, Weybourne (near All Hallows School) for speedwork - to include some hills!
Wednesday evenings
7pm from the Club House
Two or three groups generally form up - those who want to go further or faster and those who'd like to keep it steady.
During the winter the runs are mostly around Farnham town where we can find street lighting. Longer runs are out to Aldershot or Badshot Lea for those who want to.
During the summer months the runs can be on a variety of terrain over the many commons within easy reach of the clubhouse. Again, the distances and speeds can vary according to needs and ability.
Distances range from 4 or 5 to 11 miles.
Don’t worry if you haven’t tried any thing like this before, as we are keen to introduce new and not so new runners to this type of training.
